Commissioner Narum recalled that there were recycling rates as high as 80 percent. <br />She noted that if the City’s ordinance is 50 percent, she wants to get to a point where <br />this is what is in place, and someone coming forward knows this is what they must meet <br />and that the City is “creeping” on them. <br />Mrs. Rondash stated that it is part of staff’s recommendation to not require the initial <br />pre-permitting review. She added that those documents would therefore not be <br />incorporated into a review packet that comes before a discretionary hearing but would <br />only be incorporated into the building permit plan sets. She noted that in this sense, <br />there would be no information for that debate to start happening. She added that <br />having it in the City’s existing code provides people with the knowledge upfront of what <br />they need to meet. She noted that this would eliminate the opportunity for those <br />discussions to happen, and they would have a specific standard already in place in the <br />code. <br />Commissioner Narum indicated that this makes her want an amendment even more to <br />include that the buildings be photovoltaic-ready. <br />Commissioner Pearce agreed. <br />Mrs. Rondash indicated that there are also items in the City’s current system that have <br />more than one point assigned to them. She noted that a CALGreen measure that <br />achieves two or three points in the current program would be an increase in point value, <br />but there would still be only one measure. <br />The Commissioners acknowledged the amount of staff work that went into the <br />development of the green building amendments. <br />Mrs. Rondash advised that comments at tonight’s meeting would be responded to <br />th <br />verbally or in writing at the September 29 meeting. <br />5.

Selection of Vice Chair for the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee <br />(BPTC). <br />Commissioner Pearce moved to nominate Commissioner Jerry Pentin as Vice <br />Chair for the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee (BPTC). <br />Commissioner Narum seconded the amended motion. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 22, 2010 Page 22 of 23 <br /> <br />
